The Senator representing the Ogun
East Senatorial District, Buruji Kashamu, has attacked a former Acting Chairman
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, describing his era
as the worse since the inception of the party.

He said this while advising the
aggrieved members of the PDP not to divide the party but to approach the court
to get justice.

He condemned plot to factionalise
the Peoples Democratic Party by some of its members, adding that it was wrong
to divide the party.

The Senator said this in a
statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, where he described the actions of those
behind the formation of the “Fresh PDP “ as illegal.

He said, “Undeniably, the Makarfi
caretaker committee administration was the worst in the annals of the PDP.

“An extremely deplorable era,
Makarfi presided over the party with unimaginable impunity, indefensible
disobedience of valid court orders and judgments, refusal to uphold democratic
established order and practices; crowned with selfishly parochial dissolution
and manipulations of existing party state structures and consequent creation of
amenable convention delegates.

“As deplorable as the Makarfi
assault on our party is, the formation of a parallel national leadership
christened as Fresh PDP, is totally condemnable. It is illegal, undemocratic
and anti- progress.

“I strongly advise the architects
of that contraption to quickly disband same and channel their grievances and
claims to the constituted authority of our party and if found inevitably
desirable, to approach the courts for judicial adjudication.

“No matter the provocative
injustice, I shall remain irrevocably an advocate of adherence to law and
established due process. Resulting to self – help and illegal manipulations is
primitive uncivilised and clear invitation to anarchy.

“This was my position when
Makarfi dissolved the Ogun PDP exco in disobedience to a validly substituting
high court judgment and multi orders to the contrary.

“It might be long and torturous
to obtain judicial vindication over injustice, but adherence to rule of law
remains the best and most certain option to curb illegality and unjustifiable
aggression.

“In that Ogun instance, the
contemptuous illegal parallel exco leaders were unavoidably arrested by the
police and charged to court. To avoid same occurrence happening to these
illegal parallel national leadership promoters of “Fresh – PDP, I strongly
enjoin them to quickly retrace their steps and align with law and order.”
